Chapter 4: I want to take over the tailor shop and run it myself

With a thud, Su Hexi felt her blood rush to her head! He actually believed those people's lies! He thought she was pregnant with the gigolo's child?!

The original owner did do something, but she did it just to anger Zhou Lin and to take revenge on him, and she didn't do anything out of line at all.

Huge humiliation, anger, and a sense of despair at being completely misunderstood instantly engulfed her! She sat up abruptly, not caring about the wound on her forehead, and pointed at Zhou Lin with a voice so sharp it almost broke: "Zhou Lin! You bastard! In your eyes, I'm this kind of shameless person, right?!"

Zhou Lin lowered his head, his expression could not be seen, but his breathing was heavy.

"Divorce!" Su Hexi yelled without thinking, "Let's divorce! I'm divorcing you now! So that I, a pervert and a slut, won't drag you down with this troublemaker!"

She doesn't want a man who doesn't believe in her! Moreover, she is not the original owner and will not continue to follow the original owner's life trajectory!

"No!" Zhou Lin flatly refused, his voice suddenly rising with an unprecedented sternness, "You are not allowed to mention divorce!"

"This marriage must be divorced! Zhou Lin, I'm telling you, even if I give birth to a bastard, I won't give birth to a child for you!"

When the original owner was nineteen, her grandfather brought her to the Zhou family. At that time, she was like a newly blossoming bud, delicate and pure. They had lived at the Zhou family for about half a month when Zhou Lin had sex with her.

The two had been married for a year. During that year, they had only slept together once. After that, they had always slept in separate rooms. If Zhou Lin dared to step into her room and try to sleep with her, she would throw a tantrum.

In order to avenge Zhou Lin for what he had done to her, the original owner began to indulge and abuse herself. She ate and drank lavishly, intent on depriving Zhou Lin of his wealth, making herself fat, ugly, and slovenly, so that Zhou Lin would despise her.

Because she had never done any heavy work, even though she gradually gained weight, her skin was still as white as snow, better than that of ordinary women, and even better than those unmarried girls.

Zhou Lin was silent.

At that time, Mr. Su knew that his time was coming to an end, so he forced him to have sex with Su Hexi. The old man firmly believed that as long as there was a substantial relationship between them, Su Hexi would be willing to be with him even if he was gone. The old man even threatened him that if he did not agree, he would immediately take Su Hexi away and find another grandson-in-law.

Faced with this situation, he felt extremely painful and helpless. On the one hand, he really liked Su Hexi, but he didn't want to force her in this way; on the other hand, he couldn't let go of his feelings for Su Hexi, and he didn't want her to marry anyone else. Amidst this inner struggle and contradiction, he accidentally had sex with Su Hexi.

Ever since they had sex that night, Su Hexi's heart was filled with pain and resentment, and she never smiled again.

He clearly remembered how Su Hexi had always sweetly called him "Brother Lin" when she first came to his house. Back then, she was filled with curiosity about everything around her. She would follow him up the mountain to chop firewood, and would appear at the steel mill gate when he got off work, happily going home with him.

At that time, Su Hexi exuded a warm and bright light, as bright as the sun. She always liked to stay quietly beside him, looking at him with her clear eyes, as if he was her whole world.

He once thought that Su Hexi also liked him, which was why she was so dependent on him and close to him. However, all of this was completely shattered that night. He not only hurt Su Hexi, but also destroyed the originally beautiful relationship between them.

Now, no matter how hard he tried to make amends, no matter how he tried to win her heart, Su Hexi could never let it go. Her smile had disappeared, replaced by endless resentment and harshness.

But since they are already husband and wife, he will not separate from her. He forced her and he wanted to atone for his sins. Besides, before Mr. Su died, he promised Mr. Su that he would take good care of her in this life and would not let her suffer any grievances.

"You have a good rest, I'll sleep on the floor." Zhou Lin picked up a thin quilt from the bed, spread it on the cold and hard concrete floor, and lay down with his clothes on.

Su Hexi glared at Zhou Lin's back fiercely, then lay down with her back to him.

No words were spoken that night.

The next day, Zhou Lin got up early and wanted to get something to eat for Su Hexi. He even managed to borrow some white flour so that he could make her some noodles.

But Su Hexi was still furious. Seeing him come in with the bowl, she turned her head towards the wall and said sternly, "I don't want to eat it! Take it away!"

Zhou Lin's hand froze in mid-air, his eyes dimming as he stared at the stubborn and indifferent figure on the bed. He silently put down the bowl, whispered, "I'm going to work," and left with heavy steps.

The door was closed gently.

As soon as Zhou Lin left, Su Hexi was like a headless fly, frantically searching for a mirror! She needed a mirror!

Above a shabby wooden cabinet in the corner, she saw a small round mirror the size of a palm.

She held her breath and slowly raised the mirror to her eyes.

The mirror reflected a face that was swollen, like over-fermented dough. Greasy hair stuck to the equally greasy forehead and cheeks, making the face look larger and rounder. The eyebrows were messy like weeds, and the eyes were squeezed and small due to the swelling of the face.

Disheveled! Big face, thick waist, round butt!

The ultimate pursuit of beauty and the almost paranoid maintenance of body shape that were ingrained in my bones in my past life were crushed by the scene before me. Every cell in my body was screaming in resistance!

She, Su Hexi, a top fashion supermodel, is so strict with her body management that it is almost abnormal, and she has maintained an enviable golden ratio all year round!

She couldn't accept her current body!

She staggered backward, her back hitting the cold adobe wall hard. Her body slid down the rough wall and sat on the ground, dust falling.

A mixture of coal smoke, dust and some indescribable smell hit her in the face, and she left the smelly dormitory.

Su Hexi walked aimlessly, his eyes sweeping across the shops on both sides of the street, and was suddenly attracted by a shop with red paper pasted on it on the corner.

It was a small tailor shop with the words "For Sale" plastered on the door. A gray-haired, worried-looking old tailor sat on a small stool at the door, smoking a pipe.

Tailor shop!

Su Hexi trembled violently.

A crazy thought, like a flash of lightning in the darkness, tore through the thick despair.

Since everything she wants isn't here...she'll create it!

No couture gowns? She designs and cuts them herself! No catwalk? The streets are her show! No models? She’s the one!

Although the equipment is simple and the fabrics are scarce, the most basic skills are engraved in the soul! She is only twenty years old now. As long as she is willing to work hard and strive, she will definitely be able to build something from nothing and return to her peak!

She walked over quickly, trying to keep her tone calm: "Master, are you selling this shop...?"

The old master raised his eyelids and glanced at her. Seeing that she was a young girl with a wound on her head and poorly dressed, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he nodded: "Yes, I can't do it anymore, and my children at home can't take over. I'll just sell it off at a low price."

"How much?" Su Hexi's heart was lifted.
